WebKit compile fail

October 31, 2011 — BarryK

So far, anyway. I did compile WebKit successfully once before. This time, I compiled all the dependencies, no problem there. Then started WebKit compiling, and it went on for ages.

Finally, stopped with:

make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/sda10/downloads/input216/0-midori/webkit-1.7.1'

  CXXLD  Programs/DumpRenderTree

./.libs/libWebCoreInternals.a(libWebCoreInternals_la-Internals.o): In function `WebCore::Internals::createShadowContentElement(WebCore::Document*, int&)':

Internals.cpp:(.text+0xcba): undefined reference to `WebCore::ShadowContentElement::create(WebCore::Document*)'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [Programs/DumpRenderTree] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sda10/downloads/input216/0-midori/webkit-1.7.1'

make: *** [all] Error 2

This is WebKit version 1.7.1. That error message is double-Dutch to me. I will try a different version of WebKit.

Midori Webkit error?

WebKit 1.6.1 failure

"I tried WebKit 1.6.1, the latest stable release, same compile error.

WebKit: I give up
Username: BarryK
"I also tried with less/more/different 'configure' options. A problem with C++ is is that often the error messages can be obscure, as in this case. I lack the expertise to analyse the code and track this error.

"Yeah, twotoasts.de. Anyway, I am moving on.

"can I have your buildline please, as I had no problems using the defaults with the latest nightly download r98912 of 1.7.1. for a GNU build.

dumpRenderTree not needed
Username: jemimah
"DumpRenderTree and some of the other test programs don't always like to build - especially with a static webkit. However, you can just comment them out of the GNUMakefile and continue the build and things end up fine. Midori is now available here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73799
